The SMF36A-HE3-18 is a part of the family of Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diodes. It is designed to protect sensitive electronics from overvoltage caused by Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) or Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). The device is made up of three external pins which connect to the main circuit and an internal Zener diode. The Zener diode limits the current passing through the external pins to a maximum of 18 volts, thereby protecting the electronic components from voltage transience.

The SMF36A-HE3-18 is a dynamic clamping system that limits the current from the external pins to a maximum of 18 volts, which is known as its clamping voltage. The device is designed to ensure that its response time is shorter than 20 nanoseconds, making it suitable for ESD protection. It also has a fast recovery function which ensures that the device can withstand multiple transients without being damaged.

The SMF36A-HE3-18 is designed to operate within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. The device has low leakage current and excellent resistance to surge current. It is rated at a peak power dissipation of 700 Watts and has a voltage standoff of 36-14V.

The SMF36A-HE3-18 is primarily used in applications such as ESD suppression, EMI filtering, surge protection, motor control, and switching power supplies. It can also be used to protect various types of electronic components from damage caused by voltage transients. The device is especially effective at protecting memory and processors from damage caused by ESD.

The working principle of the SMF36A-HE3-18 is based on a Zener diode which can be programmed to a specific voltage. When a voltage transient occurs, the external pins are clamped to a predetermined voltage. This prevents the overvoltage from passing beyond the clamped voltage, thereby protecting the sensitive electronics from any potential damage that may be caused by the transient.

The SMF36A-HE3-18 is a highly effective device for protecting various types of electronic components from voltage transients. Its fast response time and surge protection capabilities make it an ideal choice for ESD protection. The device is also capable of withstanding multiple transients without any damage. Furthermore, the low leakage current and excellent resistance to surge current make the SMF36A-HE3-18 an ideal choice for motor control and switching power supply applications.
